Ravens Fantasy Outlook

— Willie Snead: Snead was tied for the team lead in targets (6) hauling in four passes for 49 yards (team high) and a touchdown. He is worth a play in DFS and a sleeper in season-long.

— Nick Boyle: With Walker and Olsen out, Boyle is a hot pick up. The Bengals allowed 11 receptions for 101 yards and a TD to the Colts tight ends.

— Buck Allen: With Kenneth Dixon out, Allen will get more work. Alex Collins was less than impressive last week and Allen doubles as the pass catching back. Cincinnati has allowed the second most completions to running backs since the start of 2017.

Buy

QB: Pat Mahomes: Could Mahomes owners have asked for anything more in Week 1? This week could be a shootout against Pittsburgh, who will be without top corner Joe Haden.

Alex Smith: The Colts allowed Andy Dalton to complete 75% of his passes for 250+ yards and two TD. Imagine what Smith will do at home against that same defense.

RB:David Johnson: Johnson was limited to 37 yards rushing. Until Sam Bradford can be a threat in the passing game, Johnson will not live up to being a top-three fantasy pick. Life will not get easier against the Rams.

Steals

QB: Case Keenum: Another three-TD and 300-yard game is in play against Oakland.

RB: Isaiah Crowell: Crowell had an impressive showing on Monday and now gets the Dolphins, who allowed over 100 rushing last week.

WR:Cole Beasley: Beasley lead the team in targets, catches and yards. He is the Dallas receiver to start.

TE:Antonio Gates: Is Gates really a sleeper? At this point of his career yes! With all the TE injuries, this would be a good week start him.

Def: Los Angeles Chargers: Did you see the Bills offense last week? I don’t care who starts at QB, grab whoever plays them.
